I can tell you precisely how black henna was done traditionally, and I
can tell you what the dyes are that people are using in their pastes
now. It is NOT good news. The only safe black henna paste only lasts
a few days, at most on the skin. How long are your stains lasting?
How long does it take to stain the skin? If it stains quickly and
lasts a long time, you are in deep trouble. If the stains go away
fast, you are pretty much ok.
Just because clients and their lawyers haven't come back to you to
show you their injuries doen't mean you haven't harmed people!
